Michael Sembello, Maniac (1983)
^{Key: :[Em] (w: Dennis Matkosky, Michael Sembello) (BPM: 160 / 00-A) (Original Key: D#m)}

INTRO:
[C] [D] [Em] [Em] / [C] [D] [Em] [Em]

VERSE 1:
Just a [C/E] steel town girl on a [Em6] Saturday night
Looking [Em7] for the fight of her [EmMaj7] life
in the [C] real time world no one [Cadd9] sees her at all
they [Dsus2/C] all say she's ^[B7sus4] crazy ^[B7]

VERSE 2:
Locking [C/E] rhythm to the [Em6] beat of her heart
Changing [Em7] movement into [EmMaj7] light
She had [C] danced into the [Cadd9] danger zone
When the [Dsus2/C] dancer becomes the ^[B7sus4] dance ^[B7]

PRE-CHORUS 1:
[A7] It can cut you like a [B7] knife if the fight becomes the [C] fire
On the wire between [B7] will and what will [B7] be

CHORUS:
She's a [C] maniac, [D] maniac on the [Em] floor [Em]
And she's [C] dancing like she's [D] never danced be-[Em]-fore [Em]
She's a [C] maniac, [D] maniac on the [Em] floor [Em]
And she's [C] dancing like she's [D] never danced be-[A9]-fore [A9]

VERSE 3:
On the [C/E] ice blue line of in-[Em6]-sanity
is a [Em7] place most never [EmMaj7] see
It's a [C] hard won place of [Cadd9] mystery
[Dsus2/C] touch it but can't ^[B7sus4] hold it ^[B7]

VERSE 4:
You [C/E] work all your life, for that [Em6] moment in time
It could [Em7] come or pass you [EmMaj7] by
it's a [C] push shove world but there's [Cadd9] always a chance
if the [Dsus2/C] hunger stays the ^[B7sus4] night ^[B7]

PRE-CHORUS:
[A7] There's a cold kinetic [B7] heat struggling stretching for the [C] peak
Never stopping with her head [B7] against the [B7] wind

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK: [C] ^[B7][Em] [C] ^[B7][Em]

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS 1:

REPEAT CHORUS: [multiple times]
